Hangover Day

As you can see, we spared no expense for the New Year’s Eve decorations:

And poor Izzy was just plumb tuckered out on New Year’s Day!

Surprises!

I got two wonderful surprises! First, this from Stephanie, a knitting friend in New Zealand.

It’s a first day cover of postage stamps for Lord of the Rings. New Zealand is where the movies were filmed, of course. The stamps are beautiful. Thank-you Stephanie for such a thoughtful gift!

And then guess what? Flor in Brazil sent me a birthday present. What a great surprise!

This is Knitting Fair Isle Mittens and Gloves by Carol Rasmussen Noble, which was on my Amazon.com wishlist. I’ve taken a quick look through it and it looks wonderful. There are lots of beautiful traditional fair isle patterns and I can’t wait to knit something from it.

So thank you Stephanie and Flor for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

Happy Birthday from snowy Colorado (in the mountains at least) I read your blog every morning and am so inspired by all that you do. It’s great to know that there are other fanatical knitters out there. Have a GREAT DAY and a happy new year!

Happy Birthday, Wendy!!! I finally got a move on with my Mt Rose sweater and I think you’d be proud! I just wish my gauge was as even and perfect as Wendy’s… (I hope your hangover slips away silently and painlessly!!)
